Fry.snl. Thus did three travellers
iu,rrib- themselves on the register OF
I'M. Hotel BItfoulieT at AudierHe,
whittier they had been conveyed IN an
auruuatsd berlin from Quimper-Cov-
eutm.
Very easily satisfied were they, this
loving young couple, who had taken
flight % the continent Immediately
upgr the remuneration Of the nuptial
Uened.ctiou, and this gentle girl, youn-
ger SISTER OF Lady Matilda, who knew
nothing Of life save through the pages
OF the rOmauCes of Richardson and Miss
Buruev. While waiting dinner the new
comers amused themselves by looking
out of the windows of the dining room,
and were delighted with the gay as
ppct presented by the docks of the little
Breton village. IL was at the close of
September. the cod fishing of the coast
0f Iceland lJI been favorable, all the
fishermen were returning To port, none
having lost the number Of their mess,
that great traI,ryss, the sea, having fOr
once shown herself clement.
While the two English women pratt
ted iu that soft accent which on femi-
uiue hps transforms the rude Saxon
id.Om into bIUillke warbling, a man
entered and seated himself at the table.
Very strange IN appearance was this
IersOuagp; his attire was negligent, his
beard struggling, his hair hung down to
hIs shoulders, his nose was aquiline,
his mouth Glsdainful, his big blue eyes
melancholy and trOubled-at least so
thought Miss SIville. \ few moments
later the hose of the hotes hustled In
anu fastened to present the stranger.
My guest, the physician of Au-
dieme,' he said, with something OF
emph1s'z-
And as SIR Arthur bowed slightly, he
added: - fellow cOuntryman-"
No matter in what part OF the world

title OF "EuEllshman" breaks the ice;

hand 10 the doctor, who appeared in
no sense overpowered by the conde-
sceusiOn.
"G0d forgive me" " murmured Lady
Matilda, 'but this village doctor seems
70 consider himself on a footing OF
equality wiki barOnet. One must
cOue TO France TO ses anything so eN-
tra0rtiuary.n
Whatever he might think or be, the
doctor expressed himself Ii choice
terms and the purest English. His
somewhat feroCious physIognomy light
eued up As he talked. He was enthu-
siastlcal'y in love with Brittany, and
be praised her scenic beauty with per-
suaslve eloquenCe. He made interested
listeners of the little English party.
Dinner was long over, but no one cared
10 leave the table. VINO, in the course
Of life, has not a remembrance of one
Of these long and seemingly endless
chats with a fellow cOuntryman far
from home, who may happen to be the
lmproylsed friend Of an hours ac-
quaIutauCe.
As the clock struck 10 the doctor
quickly rose.

Matilda. We have only one day to
